SOLE-LEATHER ROLLER.

A Application filed. January 19, 1921. Serial No. 438,495.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, THOMAS W. BERRY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dorchester, in the county of Sufiolk and State of lilassachusetts, have invented a new and useful Sole-Leather Roller, of which the followingis a specification.

This invention relates to Winding drums and has for an object to facilitate in tightly fastening the materials to be Wound on the drums and to facilitate in removing such materials when Wound.

Another object of this invention is to provide a device of this character especially adapted to operate With drums used in Winding leather, textiles and thelike into rolls, and to provide a binding strip and means for clamping it tightly over the material to be wound thus holding the material securely to the drum during the operation of Winding.

Another. obgect of the invention is to provide means to insure the even windlng of the materials into rolls and which will pre Figure 3 is a cross section of Figure ion the line 3-3.

Figure 4; is an end view showing the clamping member in place over the binding strip.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral. 1 designates winding drum provided in one end with a slot 7. The numeral 3 designates a binding strip of flexible and resilient substance with one end notched. or bifurcated as shown at 9. Numeralfl designates the material in position to be Wound into a roll. Numeral 4 designates a socket ation showing the jtached to the drum 1 and adapted to receive one end of the bindingstrip 3. A clamping member 5 is mounted inthe slot 7 ofthe Winding drum 1 by the pivot 6, and isproe vided with oppositely extending lateral lugs 8. adapted to fit over and engage the ureations of the notched end 9 of the binding strip 3 which is forced down to fit under the lugs 8 and is held tightly in place.

The operation or" the device thus described is as follows.

The material 2 is'tirst laid evenly on the drum 1. The end of the binding strip 3 is then inserted in the socket 4 and the strip. is laid parallel to the axis of the drum 1 over the material 2. The flexible notched end 9 016 the strip 3 is then pressed down to allow itto fit under the lugs 8 of the clamping member 5 which isswung on its pivot 6 to fit over the notched end 9 of the strip 3. The vvedging action of the lugs 8 onthe end 9 of the strip 3 preserves an even pressure on the material throughout the length of the strip 3. By swinging the clamping member 5 more or less as desired the space between strip 3 and drum 2 may be increased or decreased to fit varying thicknesses of materials. i

I claim as my invention r In a device of the class described, a wind ing drum having a slot extending transversely of one end and a clamping latch member pivotally mounted in said slot and adapted to project at its free end beyond the perimeter of the drum, a keeper mounted on said. drum at the end opposite that having the latch, a strip having one end inserted under said keeper and its other end bifurcated and adapted to extend beyond said slot. said latch member being adapted to be swung between the furcations of said strip and having laterally extending lugs to overlie the furcations of said strip and L hold the latter in operative position.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing my own, I have hereto aliixed my signature in the presence ottwo; Witnesses.
